Occurrence of Both Neurofibromatosis 1 and 2 in the Same Individual with a Rapidly Progressive Course
Neurol 39:282-283, Sadeh,M.,et al, 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We describe a family in which the father had neurofibromatosis-1 and the mother neurofibromatosis-2.Their son presented at the age of 8 years with bilateral acoustic neuromas,meningioma,and numerous neurofibromas.We believe that the occurrence of the genes responsible for both forms of neurofibromatosis in the same patient had a synergistic effect on the early rapid growth of neurofibromatosis 1 and 2 neoplasms.
